Warlord winning would silence a lot of haters. Warlock, Beast Master, and Wizard have won. By my math that makes Priestess due and I have to say she has every tool she needs to do it.

I expect the most likely to win is Druid or Anvil Throne Warlord, and if not them then the wizard or priestess.

I am Sailor Vulcan! Champion of justice and reason! And yes, I am already aware my uniform is considered flashy, unprofessional, and borderline sexually provocative for my species by most intelligent lifeforms. I did not choose this outfit. Shut up.

I'm personally partial to the Druid. But it takes a lot of skill to play that mage.

I'm predicting priestess.

I am hoping for Priest with Academy Priestess Cards. But my guess that players will not "risk" to play with decks that they didnt have a proper time to test and tune up.

I am one with the force, the force is with me! (Warlord is still my fav mage ;) )

Boocheck that is some sound logic. I expect we'll see more Priestess this year than last year for sure. I also think though that not all opponents are going to be familiar with what the new Priestess can do. I was caught totally off guard at a recent major tournament locally and got smashed. I'm a pretty good player and I have to assume that if I could fall prey to it so could others. A wily veteran player could be banking on taking at least one person in a 5 round event off guard.

I'm just hoping to see a necromancer make it to the semi-finals. He doesn't have to win, I just want to see some top level necro games. Our local meta only really has two styles for him at the moment.

I would love for a Necro to make it through. I don't recall there ever being one at Gencon making it to top 4.

Our local Force Master, Sarah, went through her book last night saying "If any scrubs challenge me I'm winning."

Our Warlock discussed ways to transition the super high offense  of his book into a slow burn late game.

JasonBourneZombie excitedly sent me a text stating that we leave tomorrow.

Our Druid is coming over so we can hit up Sams Club for supplies.

Jimillia prepared her Necromancer with "extra hate" in case she has to be the bye round.

The 4th judge, a young man named James, works a 10 hour shift today then drives over to rest here over night before leaving with us tomorrow morning.

I'm packing spell books, tokens, and my Arcane Wonders Ambassador shirts.

Charlotte is ready. Charlotte is coming to Gen Con!

Last year the only Necromancer I remember competing was relatively new and was eliminated fairly early. I'd like to see some more of the dark side this year too.
